EDITORS COMMENTS
In an empty Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found the back of the net for the first time in 2021, scoring an crucial goal against Newcastle United in the Premier League on January 18, 2021. The Gabon international striker, wearing the captain's armband, expertly finished off a team move to put Arsenal ahead in the first half. The goal came during a match that was played behind closed doors due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending the game in person, leaving the 60,000-seater stadium eerily quiet. The absence of the vocal support of the Arsenal faithful was palpable, but Aubameyang and his teammates remained focused on the task at hand. Despite the challenging circumstances, Aubameyang's goal provided a glimmer of hope for the Gunners, who were looking to climb the Premier League table. The goal was a testament to the team's resilience and determination, and it gave them a valuable three points in their quest for a successful season. As Aubameyang celebrated with his teammates, including Cedric Soares, the importance of the moment was not lost on him. The empty stands served as a reminder of the unusual circumstances that the world of football finds itself in, but the Arsenal players remained committed to giving their all on the pitch. This photo captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Arsenal's 2020-21 season, with Aubameyang's goal providing a glimmer of hope amidst the challenges of playing in an empty stadium. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of sport to bring people together, even in the most difficult of times. [Credit: David Price/Arsenal FC via Getty Images]
